I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:53, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• No DABs, external links OK
• Tell the reader what kind of a ship Blackmore is, frigate, destroyed, whatever
  • HMS Blackmore article says "escort destroyer" and the term is linked to "destroyer escort" article containing a hatnote saying it should not be confused with escort destroyers. I assume the link is correct, but could you please take a look - I'm not at all sure about this.--Tomobe03 (talk) 11:22, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Just keep things simple and call it a destroyer.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:42, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • Done.--Tomobe03 (talk) 17:32, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• appoint former appoint "the"
  • Added--Tomobe03 (talk) 11:21, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• I don't see anything else. Nicely done.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:58, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking time to review this article. Cheers--Tomobe03 (talk) 11:21, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy to see so few issues. However, if you're going to say "appoint the former governor of the Banovina of Croatia Ivan Šubašić to the position of prime minister", then there is only one "former governor" and "Ivan Šubašić" is unrestrictive and should be set off by commas. We would not write "the former prime minister of Croatia" when there are several now living. In the future, we might (but hopefully not) write "the former prime minister, Tihomir Orešković,..." if all others were to die within the term of the current PM.

Good catch, I wasn't thinking on how the clauses would read with "the" added.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:41, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to go ahead and promote now, presuming that you'll address these final nits.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 09:48, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've determined that there was more than one former ban alive at the time, so I merely undid the edit that added "the". Dhtwiki (talk) 10:37, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That still doesn't work. An article, either "a" or "the" is necessary; the latter doesn't imply that there's only one surviving, IMO. And the name still needs to be set off by commas.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 10:49, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Added indefinite article and commas.--Tomobe03 (talk) 17:30, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:52, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
